It's a Jennings J400, electronic non-microprocessor powered. I have restored a number of them. Difficult electronics, and prone to acid damage from the memory battery.

When they work, they work well. Are you trying to get it going?

Going to try. Don't want to spend a lot of money. Bought it for $50. Have to get a voltage converter to boost it to 220v.

Keep us updated. I have a wiring diagram if you need it.

Couple more question. What is the purpose of the white push switch to the left of the hopper?, the small push switch on the fuse plate, and the key switch to the rear of the pull handle side

Don't know about the pushbuttons, but the key switch on the right is an audit switch, one you won't ever use for home use.

The only pushbutton I know of is the one on the logic PC board - tilt reset switch.

The Jennings j400 I got has a sideplate saying 220v
I'm assuming that it was ate up for the European market. The base came with what I think was a voltage reducer to go from 220v to 110v. So is the machine a 110v?
